Jungle Fever: Smoking Paraphernalia & Legal Highs

The desire to have the most pleasurable of smoking experiences whenever you use herbal materials to induce legal highs has contributed greatly to the current popularity of the bong.  This is one of the most popular ways for enjoying the legal highs produced when smoking natural herbs and plant materials.  As a result of this growth in popularity, you can now find thousands of bongs on the market. 

Here are a few suggestions of what you should look for when trying to select a bong for enjoying your legal high.  Take your own personal preferences into consideration when you are looking at the different aspects of this.

Bongs are manufactured from a variety of materials today, but the most common two are acrylic or glass.  However, you can also find ceramic and wooden bongs as well.  (Here’s a hint:  if you are prone to dropping things, stay away from ceramic or glass bongs.)

They are available in a wide variety of designs, shapes, and sizes so it is wise to choose one that fits comfortably in your hand as well as being easy to light and smoke.  Again, if you are a bit on the clumsy size, you want to consider a bong size that you can handle without fear of dropping it and breaking it.

Finally, consider how the bong is going to be used.  In other words, will you be primarily the only person smoking it or will you be intending it for group use, or both? If it is going to be primarily used in a group setting, we suggest a multi-pipe bong.

A hookah pipe is an instrument used to smoke tobacco through a water chamber, which cools and filters the smoke. The hookah can have a single hose for a single user or multiple hoses. Multi-pipe bongs or hookahs are a great idea for an event or social occasion.

The hookah originated in India and is part of the culture throughout the Middle East but recently it has gained popularity in Europe, Australia, North America and Brazil. One of the more popular hookahs types is known as the Malabar hookah and comes from the city of Koyilandy.

The hookah has a number of alternative names: in Arabic the pipe is referred to as a shisha and this is the most common name used in the Persian Gulf states. Meanwhile, Islamic countries close to the eastern Mediterranean such as Turkey, Cyprus, Jordan and Syria enjoy a narghile. In Croatia and Albania the hookah is a Lula, while in Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina the pipe is called a nargile.

Hookah pipes are most common in the Arab world, where the smoking of flavoured tobacco has entered their tradition and culture. It is estimated that Arabs are the biggest users of shisha pipes worldwide. Nearly all cafés offer shisha smoking and the cafés are the centre of Arab social life, being likened to the bars and pubs in the Western world.
 
Because of the increase in smoking bans across Europe and North America, many hookah cafés have begun to offer a smoking experience by using non-tobacco mu’assel, a mixture of molasses and honey.

One of the devices used for smoking a mixture of natural herbs and plant materials that has grown in popularity is the vaporizer.  Vaporizers operate differently from blunts, bongs, and pipes in that the smoking mixture is not incinerated.  The mixture is vaporized instead which helps to protect the smoker from the irritating and possibly harmful by-products that are normally encountered when the mixture is burned.  Since there is no combustion, there is no smoke.  Ideally, the vapour that results contains virtually no tars or other particulate matter.

Lower concentrations of carbon monoxide and other noxious gases have been documented and are key benefits whenever you are smoking your herbal mixture using a vaporizer.  When you compare the use of a vaporizer to the other methods of ingestion for getting a legal high, there is a more rapid onset of the desired “pharmacological” effect.  Additionally, the delivery of the vapour into the bloodstream is more direct.

From a health standpoint, smoking your herbal blends through a vaporizer is better for you than using a blunt, bong, or pipe to attain your legal high.  Although a bong offers the advantage of a cooler smoke free from particulate matter, the herbal mixture is still incinerated instead of vaporized.  Vaporizing provides you with the same desired effect that incineration does.  However, you are only being subjected to essential natural elements and not some of the toxins that you typically would ingest when you incinerate your herbal mixture.

Most individuals who enjoy getting high legally by smoking natural herbal and plant materials are familiar with enjoying their herbal mixture by using a bong.  These special smoking devices are characterised by a hollow, long cylinder with a sealed end and an open end for inhaling the smoke.  They are usually supported by a base that is normally a continuation of the material that the bong is constructed from.

Multi-pipe bongs are an upgraded version of the standard bong and have the advantage of being able to facilitate multiple smokers at the same table without having to pass it around.  These types of bongs are an excellent device for parties and social gatherings.  Up to four smokers can enjoy a multi-pipe bong.  Multi-pipe bongs have become extremely popular with teenagers and college students who enjoy smoking legal herbs.

Another advantage of using a bong of this nature is that you do not need to pass it around like a standard bong.  In fact, if you just want to leave it set in the centre or your table your guests can still enjoy smoking the herbal mixture without having to pass it from one person to the next. 

In addition to the exterior pipes, there are also channels of pipes in the bong’s interior chambers. These channels of pipes also serve to filter out any of the impurities resulting from the smoke.  The typical multi-pipe bong is made from glass.  However, other materials have proven to be a viable choice for many individuals as well.  These other materials include acrylic, ceramic, metal, and even wood.  Again, the type of material is a matter of personal preference.

With so much media hype over drugs and so many regulations and laws, many people might well assume that the very idea of “getting high” is one hundred percent illegal and a thought that no law abiding citizen could or should ever consider. They might be surprised to know that this is not in fact the case, and they would probably even be more surprised to learn some of the very legal ingredients that can be used to achieve such a “high” without ever breaking the law.

Various legal, seemingly ordinary herbs and other ingredients can be combined to create a potent effect. These herbs include California Poppy, bearberry, acerola, damiana, rou gui, kola nut, yerba mate and even the old cooking favourite, plain old sage!

Aside from straightforward herbs, there are even some foods that can be consumed to achieve that legal high. Rye bread is one of those, providing it contains the fungus known as ergot, as are nutmeg that includes myristicin. Coffee, mulberries, stilton cheese (with tryptophan, a relaxant) and sarpa salpa fish (which contain numerous chemicals that are psychoactive in nature) are other ‘stimulating’ foods. Of course, in food form, a tremendous amount would have to be consumed to achieve the desired effect; concentrated herbs are generally the way to go. 

There are a surprising number of ways to get high without breaking any laws and in most cases without serious health risks of the kind associated with banned drugs. So many, in fact, that it is surprising so many people choose to break the law and risk life and limb rather than go with the legal alternatives.

It’s always advantageous if you have the budget to afford an exceptional acrylic or glass bong to enhance your legal high experience.  Smoking your herbal mixture through a bong is not only a more pleasurable experience compared to smoking blunts, the water used in the device serves as a cooling agent and an impurity filter.  It is without question a healthier way to get high legally.  Bongs, however, can get pretty pricey depending on the material they are constructed from and how ornately they are designed.

If you don’t have the budget to purchase a bong, why not make your own? It’s fairly easy to do as not a lot of talent is required to make one, depending on how unique you want it to look.  In some instances, you can find the materials to construct it out of just by searching through items in your home.  You also have the option of visiting some smoke shops and purchasing the separate materials necessary, or you can shop online for a homemade bong kit and instructions.

You would be surprised at the number of sites online that offer information on building your own bong.  In addition to the instructions, many of these sites offer illustrations and even videos showing you the step-by-step process.  Just beware that there are some sites that charge you a fee for the instructions and/or the information.  The bottom line is that this is a great idea for a DIY project if your budget won’t allow you to purchase something more lavish.

A commonly used “legal high” in the “herbal high” category is known as golden root. Golden root complex is also known as Rosavin, Rhodiola rosea, Rose root and even Aaron’s Rod.

Golden root is used for many things – not just for the purposes of getting high. A plant in the Crassulaceae family, the herb has a strong reputation for having a very positive effect on mood in human beings, helping to alleviate depression, reduce tiredness and even improve both mental and physical performance.

It is believed that taking golden root increases the levels of both dopamine and serotonin in the brain, and this is the reason for it’s positive impact, making people more alert and aware and generally feeling much more positive. Golden root comes from the same group of plant derivatives that also produces nicotine, yet it does not have the same negative consequences.

The positive effects of golden root are not a new discovery; it has been used for centuries in places such as Russia and Scandinavia as a way to cope with stress and the extremely cold climate of those areas. It is also a long standing ingredient in traditional forms of Chinese medicine.

A slightly lesser known benefit of golden root is for people who become sick while travelling to high altitudes, the herb apparently helps to alleviate these symptoms in some cases. There is also an unproven school of thought that the herb can even help to prevent disease. In any case, there are no negative health consequences, so golden root is considered safe and very much a “legal high”.

Funky Monkey Jungle Juice somehow falls into the category of “legal highs” despite being one of the most potent combinations of herbs available today. Originally blended in Brazil, Funky Monkey Jungle Juice is all natural, but delivers an amazing high.

The combination features various herbs, including stimulant kola nut, the euphoric herb known as Damiana, the stimulant Yerba Mate (found in South American Tea), Rou Gui, a stimulant found in Chinese Tea, and the rather rare Chinese Herb called Schisandra. This combination results in a very, very strong high and creates major feelings of euphoria and bliss.

Funky Monkey Jungle Juice comes in liquid form in an easy to use squirt bottle, so no bongs, vaporizers etc are necessary to enjoy it. Just drink between five to ten millilitres of the stuff and you will soon be raring to go. Usually, the high takes effect within half an hour at the most. The high lasts between two to three hours and another ‘hit’ can be taken immediately once it wears off.

Best of all, Funky Monkey Jungle Juice leaves the user with no adverse effects once they have come down from their ‘high’. Children and pregnant women should still stay well away from this stuff, as should people with a heart condition or on any kind of medication.

It is extremely powerful. Some users are amazed that it is actually still legal. So, grab it while it still it is actually still on the shelf to buy!

Also known as a water pipe, a bong is a device designed to make it easy to smoke various types of tobacco, herbs and other forms of plants.  The idea of the water pipe has been around since ancient times, and is found in a number of cultures.  During the middle of the 20th century, the bong became associated with smoking marijuana, with the result that many people today have no idea that the device is used for smoking other products as well.

The basic design of a bong includes a long stem that is usually known as a slide, a bowl shaped section that is equipped with some type of screen, and a bowl where the dried matter that is to be burned is placed.  The general construction is such that it is possible to use water as a filtering agent, removing many of the more harmful elements found in different types of tobacco and other plants. 

A traditional material for the bong is bamboo, which is relatively easy to shape into a long section of pipe with the bowls located at the end.  However, over the years, all sorts of materials have been used to create bongs.  Today, it is possible to purchase glass bongs as well as bongs made using different types of plastics.  While there is some difference of opinion on whether an acrylic bong works as well as a good old fashioned wooden water pipe, it is relatively easy to purchase pre-assembled bongs online, or buy kits that allow you to custom design your own special bong.
